TDA8029 ESMMODE
For Contact SmartCard reading I use a TDA8029HL. The ESMMODE is active and therefore you start communicating with the TDA8029 starting with an 0xAA as command.
After the response you can sent a normal command (ALPAR formatted). However a fraction after sending the command, the power saving kicks in and a 0xAA command is needed to get the reader going again.
Q1: is it possible to change the timeout for the ESM functionality?
Q2: with ESM active, is it then - more or less - mandatory to send the 0xAA commands before any other command?
For sending this works ok, but I have a problem when the TDA8029 sends a command back due to a card insertion (as an event). The data that will be sent is the same as returned from the 0xAA command.
What is the best way to do this?
